CitizenScience.AI is a measure in the equality strategy of ScaDS.AI (Center for Scalable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence) Dresden/Leipzig. The goal is to make research and development on Artificial Intelligence tangible as citizen science with regard to the topics of gender equality, participatory justice, cultural diversity and sustainability. In the sense of Outreach the event series Pillars and Umbrellas is organized within the measure. One component in this series is called DIALOGUE and this includes a symposium planned for 10. November 2023. The symposium is called Hope in the Climate Crisis – Artificial Intelligence in the Context of Ecological Sustainability and Social Responsibility. It is included in the programme of the Diversity Days of TUD Dresden University of Technology. The symposium will be held in German.
What’s it about? The climate crisis is here and is already exacerbating economic and social inequalities on a global scale. Sustainable concepts to counteract therefore reflect the most diverse scenarios and interactions and discuss the moment of responsibility of individuals and society also in science against the background of diverse value structures. Problem-solving that meets current challenges in a transdisciplinary and networked manner can be supported by Artificial Intelligence. These and further theses are to be discovered and discussed together with exciting guests at the event announced. More information is available here.
